Australia vs France Live Stream: How To Watch Olympic Basketball Online

The first Olympic Men’s Basketball game tips off between two of the world’s powerhouses: Australia and France, both of whom are expected to make it out of the group stage. Since it’s pretty much a given that Team USA (also in Group A) will advance as the #1 seed out of their group, today’s game will be extremely important for the French and Australians if they want to be the #2 seed.
The French (Les Bleus) have an impressive starting lineup featuring Tony Parker, Nicolas Batum (who almost seems made for international basketball) and Rudy Gobert. They also have savvy veteran Boris Diaw, but it remains to be seen if he’ll start or if he’ll help lead the bench mob. Out of all those players, Rudy Gobert will probably have the biggest impact on the game–especially on the defensive end where he’ll likely be force under the rim. Also keep an eye on backup PG Nando De Colo, the Euroleague MVP in 2016.
Meanwhile, the Australian Boombers are coming in with a squad of their own. Andrew Bogut, Matthew Dellavadova, Patty Mills, and Aron Baynes are all NBA players who get big minutes. Bogut is really the only Australian big man they can rely on, but he’s recovering from a knee injury that should keep his minutes down.
The only thing that we can promise is that it’s going to be a great game, so be sure to find out how to live stream Australia vs. France below!
